"The room was spacious and clean but we were given a room for the disabled when we requested a regular room. They said that was all that was available and the African American lady that checked us in said "you purchased through a third party seller and this is all that's available for you.""

"The staff were very helpful in arranging a late arrival. The room was clean and comfortable overall. However, the shower curtain was missing from the bathroom, and parking became a little limited later at night."
